So, I picked up a Rally at worlds this year. I set it in my case and I haven’t really played with it much since yesterday.
On the first few throws I noticed some pulse vibe. No big deal, it’s a plastic, and it still plays great. I was willing to overlook the vibe.
Today, however, I was able to pop out the non-axle hub out of the yoyo with just slight pressure, which surprised me quite a bit. I popped it back in, which resulted in some pretty crazy wobble when spinning. Also, when tightening the yoyo, the hub just spins, making it difficult to really tighten the yoyo down.
I’d love to hear any information on this. I’m fairly sure I just got a dud, but I’m curious to see if this is a widespread issue.
The metals hub and rings are pressed in and not meant to come out. Taking out the hub was probably a worse idea and as you see created more vibe. I think any warranty would be void as well. I don’t think it was a did seeing as a little vibe should be expected.
It sounds as though you may have gotten one with a loose hub. Contact One Drop about the issue and see what they would like to do. The company has some excellent customer service. They may just ask you to return the yoyo to them for inspection.
Because it isn’t that simple Side Effects work on a totally different concept which requires metal on metal contact. It’s called taper friction. There are a number of reasons why it won’t work in plastic.
The “hubcaps” in the Rally are not meant to be taken out.
